    How to Roleplay (Not the Sexy Way)

    Considering that I cross-post these blogs to LinkedIn, what a spicy title! Remember that LinkedIn is just another social platform that will also die with the churning of time. It’s outlasted Myspace, though I’m not sure it will translate well to the eventual hellscape of the Metaverse. Is going on LinkedIn in VR just… going…

  • Thoughts on Moving

    Thoughts on Moving

    Whew. I’ve moved a large number of times now. This will be my sixteenth move in my life so far. Here are some things I think about every single time. How did I get so much stuff? Where did all these tchotchkes come from, and why can’t I seem to get rid of them? Do…

  • The Value of Dance Music

    The Value of Dance Music

    First of all, all art has value, because it speaks to that intangible essence of spirit and connection. Thanks for coming to my two-sentence Ted Talk. But for real, I’ve recently gotten back into EDM (Electronic Dance Music, for the laymen) and I’m glad to be back in the halls of crunchy drops and melodic…

  • Quick Gratitude

    Quick Gratitude

    Man, have I had quite the good last couple of years, and that’s maybe something I have a lot of privilege to say. Considering the last couple of years, anyways. I don’t have a lot to write about today, and I’m pretty spent. But hey, you know what? I made it here, and for that…

  • A Magic System?

    Keeping it short tonight, but I’m dipping back into writing fantasy, and oh man do I love it. I suppose the problem is that I get lost in the potential of things, what different pathways and choices could possibly lead to. I was thinking of things to write about for this, and I just want…

  • My Window and the Willow

    I have one month left at the window, where I have procrastinated away the last three years of my life. From my vantage, there is a hill overlooking a parking lot and a fenced in space for dumpsters. Beyond that, there is a marshy field, the chaotic willow, and a prison for children. Despite the…

  • Maintaining Habits

    I’m a person who lives a pretty irregular lifestyle, switching jobs and moving often, teaching or bartending or doing whatever else to support my family and creative endeavors. My days are inconsistent in their orientation, which is something I’ve actively sought in my adulthood, but that can make routines hard to solidify. Luckily, I practice…

  • Beginner’s D&D

    This is going to be a quick one today because it is late and I’m really missing my tabletop games right now. With a lot of big things shaking up in my life, I’ve put my own games on hold, but playing D20 based tabletop RPGs is something that has drastically improved my life. Not…

  • Trying Contentment

    Whew. This is a late one, but I wanted to get a couple thoughts down. I’ve been trying to foster contentment in my life lately as a form of mindfulness. I think a lot of people mistake fostering contentment with giving up and a general disassociation with achievement, an outlook fraught with fallacies about the…

  • Wordy Wednesday

    This has nothing to do with the smash-hit phone game known as Wordle. For my Wednesday posts, I’m going to write poems, or talk about poetry and/or the power of language. It’s something that gets written off by the laymen, but how we communicate gives insight into how we think. When we write poetry, we…
